Proposed model for induced cell death in photosynthetic organs by plasma treatment. Low temperature pulsed plasma induce ROS accumulation in every tissue (solid arrow) and direct damage in epidermis (dotted arrow). ROS accumulation induce cell death and chlorophyll disruption, while direct damage in epidermis induce epidermis cell to be disrupted and ROS leaked from epidermis might contribute to ROS accumulation in mesophyll.
